Hook up the pneumatic system with just the compressor hooked to the pressure relief valve, a dump valve (manual) and a pressure gage.

power the compressor from a battery (use a fused line for safety). Bring the pressure to ~130 PSI. The relief valve should release pressure when it hits ~125 PSI.

If it doesn't then adjust the valve to release and then retry (poppit valves are notorious for not being very stable nor re-seating very well).
